Christmas and New Years at home

What a wonderful way to begin the New Year. December was officially the first full month since she was born that Charlotte was not in the hospital. What an amazing feeling. We have soaked up every minute of time as a family. Charlotte finished her 2 week dose of the antibiotic which helped with the bacteria in her belly. It really helped reduce her vomiting! We attended our first church service as a family on Christmas Eve, and Charlotte did so well. We sat in the back so that Charlotte isn't surrounded by colds and germs. She is still easily susceptible to upper respiratory infections, so we have to be very careful about who she is around. Then, we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Nana's house. We had a wonderful dinner with the family. Christmas Day was better than we could have ever imagined. The best part was having Charlotte home. We played all morning and opened presents. Charlotte was definitely spoiled by her amazing friends and family. David and I even got to take a nice long run in the woods to get some fresh air while Nana watched Charlotte. Christmas Day was definitely wonderful. Then, we rang in the New Year together as a family at home. It was more than we could have hoped for. Charlotte was sleeping soundly in her crib, so we woke her up at midnight and watched fireworks on our rooftop deck. Here's hoping that January is another good month!
